Learn how to talk to others about Jesus
There are many people in your life (many are listed under People to See), who can help you learn to tell others about Jesus, but if you would like to get involved with an organization who's primary goal is to spread the gospel, check out the website below for the Ongoing Ambassadors for Christ!
Volunteer at your church, school, local food pantry, or hospital
Giving of your time and talents is not only Biblical, it will make you feel good!
Gather up a group of friends or family members and find a way to help in your church or community. There is much to do - all you need to do is ask!
Talk to someone who looks lonely
Do you remember what it's like to eat lunch alone, or to hear people whispering about you because you are the new kid at school or in the neighborhood? Chances are you felt pretty bad.
All it took was one person to greet you, or invite you to talk or have lunch with them, and the sadness and loneliness went away.
Go ahead, make someone's day!
Talk to your parents about attending a Lutheran High School
Did you know there are high schools that are owned and operated by the Lutheran Church? There are over 70 high schools across the country that are designed to allow students to share their faith, and to have their faith be an active part of the learning process.
Sound too good to be true? Ask your parents if you could take a look at one in your area, and see if it is a good fit for you.
